India vs England, 5th Test: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
England’s tour of India will come to an end in Dharamsala in the fifth and final Test, which will begin on March 7 in the foothills of the Himalayas. The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala will be hosting this Test.
India have already taken an unassailable lead in the series. They lost the opening game in Hyderabad but bounced back and won the next three to go 3-1 up in the series. It has been a close-fought series and we have witnessed an intense battle between both these sides.
The fourth Test was held in Ranchi. On the back of a brilliant century from Joe Root (122*), England posted 353 on the board. India, in reply, got bundled out on 307 and conceded a handy first-innings lead of 46 to the English side.
The hosts then knocked over England on a paltry total of 145. Chasing 192, there were a few jitters in the Indian camp. However, well-compiled knocks from Shubman Gill (52*) and Dhruv Jurel (39*) helped them get across the line with five wickets in hand.
The Indian side has made full use of the home conditions and have already wrapped up the series. They will be hoping to make it 4-1 in Dharamsala. England, meanwhile, will be hoping to adapt to the conditions quickly and get a consolation win in the final Test of this tour.
The fifth Test will be the 100th for India’s Ravichandran Ashwin and England’s Jonny Bairstow. Both these experienced players will be hoping to put on a memorable performance and contribute to their respective nations.
